Hello Google AI Team and Community,

I am facing a persistent connectivity issue with the Gemini API via Google AI Studio for the past 6 days. My development environment hosted on a cloud VPS is continuously receiving a 403 Forbidden / Connection Refused error whenever my scripts attempt to make an API call.

I am an active subscriber to the Google AI Pro plan. I am using this API exclusively for my personal development, coding setup, and IDE workflows. It appears that my VPS outbound hosting IP address has been incorrectly flagged or rate-limited by the automated anti-bot / risk-control proxy system.

Here are the details of my setup for verification:

  • Affected VPS Provider: “https://hostdzire.com/”
  • My VPS Outbound Public IP Address: “78.159.110.159”
  • Exact Error Message: 403 Forbidden / API Request Rejected from this IP

I request the engineering team or moderators to kindly look into this, verify my account status, and help whitelist or unblock my VPS IP address so I can resume my coding projects.

Thank you for your time and assistance.
